Exam 2 - clicker questions Flashcards
Last week, stroke patient walked 4 steps independently. This week he did 15. Did he learn?
a) Yes, stepped 11 steps
b) No, but performance improved
c) Not clear if he learned to walk
c) not clear if he learned to walk
Not enough time has elapsed to determine if learning has, or has not improved. Performance did improve, but learning is unclear due to lack of time
With 4 steps to 15 steps guy, how would we know if he learned?
a) if he continued to increase steps over several weeks
b) if he returned 3 months later and continued to perform well
c) if he walked well in a variety of different contexts
d) all indicate learning
d) all are indicative
New patient for ADL’s, and want to set goals for improving balance. what goal would be best?
a. balance on one foot as long as possible
b. your target is to balance for a total of 30 seconds without falling
c. improve your time on one foot by 5 seconds each week
c) improve your time on one foot by 5 seconds each week
Coaching hs basketball-each wednesday is for shooting. how can you structure your practice to optimize learning?
a. have players take as many shots as possible during the course of practice, minimizing rest
b. have equal amounts of shooting and rest time
c. structure so that every shooting drill is followed by significant rest
a. as many shots as possible, minimizing rest
- is a discrete skill so mass practice is optimal
Contextual Interference is:
a. forgetting movement plans, which leads to worse performances
b. performing worse during acquisition, but better on retention due to a random practice structure
c. performing better during acquisition, but worse on retention due to a blocked practice structure
b. performing worse during acquisition, but better on retention due to a random practice structure
key is RANDOM
One of the predictions of schema theory is:
a. that accurate skilled movement can occur without a set of rules
b. that skilled movement will not occur without sensory feedback
c. that variability of practice should improve motor learning
d. that accurate skilled movement can occur only if there is a memory trace
c. that variability of practice should improve motor learning
Patient learning to step onto curb with bad limb…according to schema, optimal learning occurs:
a) if task is practiced on 4 inch curb
b) if task is practiced under different conditions
c) if task is practiced on 6 inch curb
d) if practiced with verbal instruction
b) if task is practiced under different conditions
- learning is transferable
if it was about optimal performance, the answer would be a)
